The trail is very steep pretty much the whole way; it’s shaded for about the first half and then open and rocky to the top. It was really hot, and I got a bit sunburned. The view from the top would probably be pretty spectacular on a non-hazy day.

There’s a nice, shady spot to hang out at the end of this other trail (top left of image below), which is just a little lower than the peak. I hung out there for about an hour.
